Brad Turner, Executive Director of the College of Golf at Keiser University, explains when and how to use the lob shot in golf. The lob shot is ideal for situations where you need the ball to land on the green and stop quickly, requiring a high trajectory. Brad demonstrates how maintaining the loft of the club—typically a lob wedge—is key to executing this shot effectively.
In the setup, Brad advises positioning the ball forward in your stance to achieve a level angle of attack and avoid hitting down too steeply. He emphasizes keeping the weight forward and using a body rotation rather than excessive wrist hinge to maintain the club’s loft. This technique allows for a high, soft shot that lands close to the target.
Brad also shares a fun practice drill called “hit and catch,” which reinforces the importance of maintaining loft through impact. By practicing these techniques, golfers can master the lob shot and improve their short game precision.
